Song Information:

In the movie, "The Jerk", starring Steve Martin, there is a scene where Navin sings a song in the bathtub. It's just him splashing around and singing for his girlfrind in the next room who is packing her bags. Well, I got the idea to take it and turn it into a full-fledged musical spectacle.

Just imagine the scene now like this: Scene starts out with
Nathan by himself singing in the tub in a small bathroom set in a pool of light on an otherwise dark stage. He sings the first round of the song. But then the set opens up, the tub sliding off to the side. Lights come up as a choir marches forward, dancers in giant thermos outfits twirl onto stage. Angels swing in from wires above the stage, pyrotechnics go off (pop, boom, flash!), a hi-kicking line of girls crosses the stage, glitter and confetti fall from above, Steve comes out on stage now wearing a white tux with cane and top-hat, riding a small elephant, doves are released and fly out over the audience.... oh, GOD, YES! OHHH the GLORY!!!!!! YES!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!
It ends with everyone posed with their arms and hands stretched out... Blackout.

Here's an audio clip of the scene in the movie where you can hear the original:

I kicked it up a notch. All in tribute to a damn funny man, Steve Martin, and his masterpiece film, "The Jerk".

Song Lyrics:

Oh I'm picking out a thermos for you
not an ordinary thermos for you
but the extra best thermos you can buy
with vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in

I'm picking out a thermos for you
and maybe a barometer too
and what else can I buy
so on me you'll rely
a rear end thermometer too
